Morning Glory Pool is one of my favorite geysers in Yellowstone National Park. I first visited Yellowstone in 1967 while on a camping trip from New York to Alaska with my family. In 1985, I revisited the park and Morning Glory was still relatively blue and teal and clean.

When I saw this geyser again in 2012, it had turned yellow-orange due to junk thrown into it by visitors; the debris clogs its vents. Unless humans around the globe change their attitudes about how critical it is to protect the Earth, we will not be able to save these unique and precious areas for the future.
